Day 980

My glasses, weakened already, broke in half in the morning. Wasted an hour in town waiting for the repair. Looked at the picture exhibition of landscapes in the library. The repair cost £53 - safe in our hands, eh? I exerted charm on the people in the opticians, it was quite a pleasant experience.

Discovered a new Giants album, John Henry, in Andy's Records. I must have it for Christmas!

In the evening yet more attempts to stop the scanner crashing the system. Wish I could find the cause.

Dudley by-election today. Coming back from the optician's I clocked a girl I'd seen before, this time up against the angle of the wall of Habitat, asking for spare change. I walked past, of course. I may have a roof over my head but, as I don't need to explain, I never have any money. One for every Tory's conscience. Bastards!
